As Mo Yang enjoyed his plate of big chicken in the real world, he felt deceived by the dream world and increasingly sensed its malicious intent.
He wondered if staying in the dream world for too long would make everything in the real world seem like garbage, to the point where he would prefer to stay in the dream world rather than live a good life in the real world.
He couldn’t help but feel that the dream world was with bias and ill-intent, despite 006 claiming otherwise. Who was really being deceitful and malicious? They didn’t seem to have a clue.
After having lunch, Mo Yang returned to the small hotel in the county town. He carefully observed the expressions of the boss lady and the waiters, but didn’t notice anything unusual. He locked the door and entered the dream world again.
Before entering the Pink Campus game, he asked 006.
“According to the game rules, I can only receive money and item rewards after clearing this game, right? But it seems like I need to play this game for at least a month, so does that mean I won’t be able to earn any Dream Coins for a long time? I might as well go mining or farming.”
006 was clearly prepared with an answer, as its golden sphere flickered.
[That’s definitely not the case! How can you live in the dream world without money? The three main types of games and the fourth type of farming game in the dream world are not mutually exclusive.]
[You can always take breaks from dating simulations, mystery solving, or battle challenges, and return to the dream world to farm, cook, or fish. Our dream world is a user-friendly game that doesn’t create too much mental pressure for players, except for specific games.]
[Moreover, the time for each game in the dream world will not exceed one month in real-world time. The game will fast-forward to certain points, so you can rest assured.]
[Since you asked about this, I can tell you directly. Have you decided where you want to establish your homestead?]
“Home?”
[Yes! It’s your base in the dream world where you can cultivate and farm! Once you have a home, you can grow crops and raise animals. Plus, with a home, you can access the internet and browse the forums of the dream world to check or post messages! There are also rankings of various games online, so you can see the top players and money earners!]
[Let me tell you, there’s already someone who’s a top player. They’ve only been in the dream world for five days and they’ve already earned 500 dream coins! Amazing, right? Their guide must be really lucky~]
Yan Mo nodded in agreement, looking at his own savings of 0 coins.
“Indeed, impressive. Does he have any special skills?”
006 paused for a moment at this question, then coughed.

[He’s a lucky strongman. He opened a mining area in his home and found five gold nuggets in five days.]

Especially since Yan Mo was previously worried about how to learn more about the dream world, now with the dream network and rankings, he should be able to gather a lot of information.
[Oh, oh, oh, so where does the host plan to establish the home? Is it in this small county? Or somewhere else? As a first-time homeowner benefit, as long as it’s within the country, you can freely choose any place to settle down! ]
[Whether you want to go to the snowy mountains of Tibet, the islands in the south, or the Shaolin Temple in the Central Plains, or even place your home in the grand palace of the capital! After all, this is the limitless dream world, you can place your home wherever you want!]
Upon hearing the last location, Yan Mo couldn’t help but chuckle. “Has anyone really placed their home in the imperial palace in the capital?”
Mo Yang remembered the unique name ‘Song Aotian.’
“It seems like many people come up with inflated names for themselves after entering the dream world…”
006 chuckled: [Well, they are the creators of their own world in their dreams, so it’s normal for them to be inflated. You, as a ‘Black Dog’, are the strange one.]
Mo Yang slapped 006 and asked when it came back: “What happens if the location I choose conflicts with others entering the dream world? For example, if I also choose the Grand Palace?”
006 blinked: [It’s unlikely that this will happen. However, some famous landmarks may overlap, but those places can accommodate at least ten homes, so it won’t directly cause conflicts.]
[For example, the Grand Palace is so large that it can accommodate at least fifty homes. But I don’t recommend settling in densely populated areas, because although the dream world is a spiritual world that people from the real world cannot touch, once you enter the dream world, your spirits can interact with each other. This means that your home in the dream world is your ‘spiritual point.’]
[Although homes in the dream world are protected and cannot be attacked by others, if someone finds your home outside the safety zone of your home in the dream world and ambushes you, well, you could still be seriously injured. So, it’s best to choose a place that has beautiful scenery but is not well known.]
[At this stage, with only 100,000 initial players in the first batch, it’s really unlikely to come across the same place! What kind of fate would it take to choose the same location? Impossible! Just choose any place you like!]
Moyao found the reasoning logical and decided on a location for his home in the Dream World.
“Then let’s place our home in the ‘Purple Micro Mansion’ on the outskirts of Ziyun Mountain in Beijing. I’ve been there a few times before, and it has mountains, rivers, lakes, specialized planting areas, technological experimental areas, combat training areas, and hot springs. The layout is reasonable and complete, and it can meet various daily needs.”
“Most importantly, not many people know about it and can access it, so it should be safe. Can you teleport me directly there in the Dream World? Does it cost money to teleport like that?” Mo Yang asked.
For a long time, 006 remained silent, which made Mo Yang raise his eyebrows.
“Is teleportation expensive? I thought there were benefits for first-time settlers?”
006 let out a humanized sigh in its mechanical tone. [Host, I never expected you would encounter someone with such a strong affinity so quickly.]
Moyao narrowed his eyes. “So?”
[Because of that, there’s someone who has a strong affinity with you and has also settled in the same place], 006 explained.
Moyao chuckled. “Well, that’s certainly a special affinity.”
Dream World is so big, and the total number of people may only be one hundred thousand, with probably less than twenty thousand in the China region. Yet, he ended up sharing a home with another person.
[Well, host, so do you want to change your home? Actually, the islands, snowy mountains, or ecological parks are all nice options! No need to be so picky.]
“No. I want to live there. I want to see who I’m so destined to be neighbors with, out of all the one in ten thousand chances.”
006 sighed: [After I take you there, you’ll understand. Anyway, you’ll be neighbors and see each other every day. Hmm, with such destiny, maybe you’ll have a beautiful romance in Dream World. It’s more reliable than online relationships, as your looks and height are real in Dream World, with at most some minor adjustments or extra masks. Hehehe.]
[But, host, are you sure you don’t want to change your location? The first home is crucial. Although you’ll have opportunities to settle in other places later, those will only be branches, and the conditions and facilities won’t surpass the headquarters.]
Mo Yang nodded: “I’ve decided on that place. Ziwei Manor has the most high-end design and feng shui. If it were in the real world, it wouldn’t be easy to live there.”
Most of the residents there are important talents’ family members or retired officials.
[Alright, host! Then you can open your eyes wide and enjoy the thrill of teleportation! Let’s count to three, and we’ll be there!!]
As expected, after counting to three, the scenery in front of Mo Yang changed dramatically, compared to the picturesque small county town in southwest China. The place in front of him was also beautiful, but with traces of artificial planning and organization, as well as a more modern sense of beauty and comfort.
[Oh, I forgot to mention earlier! Since you’ve chosen the same region, you and your neighbor will share some facilities, such as fields, mines, ponds for fishing, and so on. Of course, your homes will be adjacent to each other! Host, make sure to get along well with your new neighbor!!]
Mo Yang: “……”
He felt that 006 needed to be reprimanded. This guy had intentionally omitted some information more than two or three times. Are all guides like this, or is his 006 just an idiot?
But now it’s useless to think about these things, he has already arrived at the Ziwei Biyuan and can’t change places anymore.
I hope the new neighbor can get along well…
If she’s a beauty, well, a great beauty would be perfect.
With these thoughts in mind, Mo Yang turned his head to look at the small wooden house not far away, which was also a one-bedroom, one-living room, one-bathroom house. At this moment, as if telepathically, the door of the small wooden house slowly opened.
Then, a person slowly emerged from inside with a slow and leisurely gait, a thin body like a pole, and that look of disdain from Wang Zhimi that could be clearly seen even from a distance.
Mo Yang took a deep breath. He thought, me and my new neighbor are really destined.
Wan Mei: “…”
009 notified him that he had a new neighbor and was curious to see who it was that chose this place with such telepathy and whether it was a colleague or an acquaintance. But when he opened the door and saw it –
That proud and upright posture, eyes that would look particularly charming when tilted up, and the carefree and unrestrained temperament that seemed to see through this damn world, wasn’t this his good desk mate from the game?
The two of them stared at each other quietly for a while, and then they both moved toward each other’s direction, finally meeting in victory.
Before they could even greet each other or exchange pleasantries, two piercing mechanical screams came from behind them, and the next second, victory turned into a melee between 006 and 009, accompanied by various screaming and cursing.
Author’s Note: Hahaha, this is a special fate!! Muah muah~
006: Ah ah ah ah ah!!
009: Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!!!
How is system looks? How we can see how they fighting?
Thank you for your translation 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
Maybe like ball of lights clashing with each other XD
Yeah, they are golden balls! In my imagination they’re really cute
i can imagine what 006 is thinking.
006: so unlucky… out of all the places to settle, it has to be neighbours with that stinky 009. tsk.
ha! i was right! (i am commenting on parts as i read)
LMFAOOO THIS WILL BE FUN
<3
Ermerged. How inelegant. I snorted and did a spit take, and had to wipe away saliva from my lips. How unexpected. That last sentence is deadly.
🤣
Mo Yang seems to be misspelled many times in this chapter_(:з)∠)_
“Yan Mo” in 4 places and “Moyao” in 3 places
The names just kept confusing me, sorry if it comes as rude or anything〒▽〒
😭 the names keep confusing me and I can’t concentrate ‘cuz my mind’s trying to auto correct… it should be Mo Yang for readers but for the characters in this world, Yang Heigou… right?
But I get confused when suddenly it’s a character’s dialogue and they call him “Mo Yang” instead of the Yang Heigou name… and in this chapter, there’s so many Yan Mo and even Moyao 🫨😵💫
